  • Good Bad Ugly
    Apr 20 2025

    Ajith Kumar goes full throttle on the fan service pedal in Good Bad Ugly and we’re here to break it all down.


    In this episode of Paisa Vasool, we dive into the chaos that is Adhik Ravichandran’s latest film – from the endless intro scenes and John Wick cameos to the questionable logic and over-the-top villains. Is it bad? Is it ugly? It sure ain't good. Tune in as we unpack what might be the most absurd Tamil film we’ve reviewed yet.

  • Chhaava
    Mar 16 2025

    We finally watched Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava—but did it live up to the hype? With A.R. Rahman’s music, historical battles, and intense drama, this Maratha epic has been a huge box office success. But is it worth the 2h 40min runtime?


    How historically accurate is Chhaava?

    Does the film suffer from pacing issues?

    Why is the final act so divisive?

    Where does it stand among Indian period dramas?


    🔥 Deep dive into the history, cinematography, and whether Chhaava is worth the watch!
